Amir Zidane uploaded the clip to Facebook after the incident which took place on Monday.

Despite its decision to offload the fruit from the cargo, Sriwijaya Air senior corporate communications manager Retri Maya later released a statement justifying their decision by saying it was "not illegal" to carry durian fruit.

Eventually, they all disembarked the plane while the durian was unloaded.
